Teachers and leaders have been anticipating the release of a number of documents, some of which have been delayed for months.

The School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB), which recommends how much of a pay rise teachers should receive each year, was sent to the DfE in April. But on the day before purdah kicked in (May 26) the DfE confirmed it would not be released before purdah and refused to set a date for its publication.

The report is expected to confirm an uplift in pay for teachers, broadly in line with the 1 per cent public sector cap, and recommendations on bonuses for teachers.

Professor John Howson, a teacher supply expert, told Schools Week at the time: “There can only be two reasons they’re sitting on it, one is that the body has breached the 1 per cent overall rather than breaching it for some people but keeping it within the envelope, or that it said something pretty damning about teacher supply.”

The DfE’s response to the national funding formula consultation has not yet been released, despite the consultation closing more than two months ago.

Schools wishing to convert to academies have likely also been hit with delays in signing their funding agreements over the last few weeks.

Earlier today, the DfE said it would be assessing the impact of the referendum and would set out its position on policies in “due course”. A spokesperson for Nicky Morgan, education secretary, also confirmed she had “a lot to get done” before summer.

There is also the second phase of the Rochford Review about the future of P Scales. How are we going to assess pupils working below national standard in the future? Will there be a consultation on this? If so they need to get their skates on if schools to start using in September!!
